In my opinion, rap is to music what a landfill is to fine art. I'm not saying there isn't any talent there, I'm just saying it is rare. Tupac is one of the few examples of talent in rap. The rest of the stuff - well, let's send it to the dump.

Rap makes my ears vomit.

Re: Who here likes rap?

The words to Sugar Hill Gang's Rappers Delight are the greatest. Its all downhill from there in the rap world. The best line (one often used as well by Big Red Man when he was on the dating scene) in the song goes "He can satisfy you with his little worm, but I can bust you out with my Super Sperm!"

See, now that is interesting, Red. I like the Beasties and LOVE Kid Rock (almost as much as AV loves Kid Rock). But I wouldn't classify either of them as rap. Maybe that's just my own classification or rather misclassification, but I see rap as something different.
